Well, if Linux runs on it and it provides a framebuffer, then yes. There's
actually not much in Opie that is device specific - only the stuff for
hardware buttons, brightness control, and a few other minor things.
Everything else is taken care of by Linux.

One other issue though is that there is no phone application in Opie at the
moment, so until that is rectified it is only suitable for PDA use - you
won't be able to make calls with it.

Cheers,
Paul
